+**What it does**
+
+This tool shuffles the sequences in the input file but preserves the dinucleotide frequency of each sequence. 
+
+The code implements the Altschul-Erikson dinucleotide shuffle algorithm, described in "Significance of nucleotide sequence alignments: A method for random sequence permutation that preserves dinucleotide and codon usage", S.F. Altschul and B.W. Erikson, Mol. Biol. Evol., 2(6):526--538, 1985.
